Proposed outrageous alcohol taxes in Maryland
Less than an hour after I posted news of the new direct wine shipping bill being considered by the Maryland legislature, I come across this:
I have nothing to add to Chris O’Brien’s analysis, except to say that I agree with him. And I’m angry.

I was out of town over the weekend to celebrate a couple of milestone birthdays with the other half of the Hop Talk Advisory Panel: Don and Max. Good times, good times.
As such, I wasn’t able to attend the Red, White and Brew event in downtown Brunswick for First Friday. My wife was able to [...]

Beer-a-Day #178
My wife’s dear friend Ellen took our kids to see a movie, leaving us with an hour and forty-five minutes to kill.
So, of course we went to a brewpub.
On tap was the new “1634 Ale”, brewed to celebrate the founding of the Maryland colony. From the press release:
“1634 Ale” was created by Tom Flores, [...]

Sadly, I’ll be out of town that weekend. But if you’ll be in the Central Maryland area this may be of interest to you. Especially if you like small Maryland towns.

Beer-a-Day #120
I decided to take a break from the disappointments of light lager imports in green bottles. So, instead, I got myself a fresh-brewed domestic light lager that never saw the inside of the bottle. (Besides, my boss invited me to Rock Bottom. How could I say no?)
Light golden color with nice lacing. In the [...]
Oppresive beer tax in Oregon
Whether you think Oregon is “beervana”, there is no denying that Oregon is huge in the craft beer world.
So why would a state legislator propose a 1900% increase in the beer excise tax? Okay, Oregon’s current tax is one of the lowest in the nation, but still. And why only beer? As usual, the increased [...]

Beer-a-Day #33
As usually happens once a year or so, my FOAM meeting this month was held at the Flying Dog Brewery in Frederick, Maryland. For the trivial cost of $5 for a glass, I could sample everything they had on tap.
They had a couple of Wild Goose offerings on tap, as well as a large [...]
